Your use case

What would you like to do?

I want to use Element X it is already logged in but I dont know with which account.

Why would you like to do it?

I havent used it for a while and just started it again.

Have you considered any alternatives?

No response

Additional context

The app does not even give me an option to log out. The only thing i can do is ask another client or enter a recovery key but i dont know for which client.

Are you willing to provide a PR?

Yes

The broke existing users who don't want to verify with mandatory session verification https://github.com/element-hq/element-x-android/issues/2702

Thanks for reporting the problem.

I guess we could replace the lock icon in the screen below by the User avatar and user name or Id if no name is available?

Note that this issue is only for existing unverified sessions, else the user has just logged in to their account when this screen is displayed.

Hi all I am facing the exact same problem as the screenshot from @bmarty. Except, that my user is just created in the database and login for the first time. How can I get a recovery key when this is my first logon ever :)
